Fishing shops sell equipment and supplies for recreational angling in rivers, lakes, canals and the sea. Their stock commonly includes rods, reels, fishing line, hooks, floats, weights, nets and tackle boxes, alongside specialist gear for coarse, carp, game, sea and fly fishing. Shops may also carry live or prepared bait, groundbait, lures, flies and materials for making or adapting tackle. Customers can expect to find practical accessories such as landing nets, unhooking mats, bite alarms, waders, waterproof clothing, footwear and storage equipment. Some shops offer services including reel maintenance, rod repairs, line fitting or spooling, and advice on choosing suitable tackle and bait for particular methods or conditions. Stock and services vary, and specialist shops may focus on one type of angling.
